Good to Know About Your Vendors

Pop these questions and make sure you like the answers- before sealing the deal with your wedding pros.

Ask your Venue: What can’t we bring? Sites can ban anything from types of alcohol to dangerous decorations. Heart set on candlelight? Some venues allow open flames, but others say no.

Ask your Florist:

Do you have a signature style? Some florists are known for a particular type of design. Make sure it’s compatible with your wedding theme.

Ask your Caterer:

Are you health-department licensed and inspected?

This might be one of the most overlooked but most important questions. Food handling rules apply to caterers, restaurants and yes, bakeries. It ensures the safety of you and your guests. Food poisoning is not a good wedding favor.

Ask your dressmaker:

What advice do you have in finding a dress that works for my body?

The dress should feel as good as it looks. A-lines are flattering on all body types, mermaids accentuate curves and soft fabrics tend to flatter and feel less formal. Gowns are heavy. Nobody wants photos to capture a drooping dress. A longline bra – the kind that extends down your torso – can actually help bear the garment’s weight. You’re also forced to sit or stand straighter. Instant posture boost!

Ask your makeup artist:

What kind of prep is needed before the day of?

Think ahead. For the most radiant skin on your wedding day, start using at hyome exfoliators or even better, getting monthly facials about six months prior. You’ll see an improvement in the tone, texture, moisture level and evenness of your skin, which all make a difference on camera. On the morning of your wedding, prep your face with a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid. It holds a thousand times its weight in water, making your skin look more plump and hydrated. It’s like a big drink of water for the skin.

Ask your photographer:

When is the best time to shoot wedding portraits?

Try to plan your main photo session for the early evening. In the few hours before sunset, you will get the most romantic light. For midday shots, try standing in the shade. The light is more even and you won’t be squinting.

Lamar Wedding Center would like to help you coordinate your wedding from the proposal until your shakin your booty on the dance floor.

Testimonials

We recently used the photography services offered through Lamar Wedding Center in Montclair. Angela was very helpful and assisted us with selecting the photogrpahy package that met our needs. The photographer, Juan Carlos, was very professional and has a great personality. He arrived early and captured great moments throughout the day. Thank you!

We had a 20 passenger Excursion and the driver made everyone feel like royalty! He was early and very professional! Plus the prices are unbeatable!

i can’t say enough about Lamar. It’s a high end place with lots of personal attention for a low price in comparison. The owner is hands on and everyone is approachable. We went to a competitor in Nutley and we got our money back cause the guy would never even return our calls. I’m so happy we made this decision. Will recommend to our friends. Thank you.

So much of the stress of planning is relieved when you can make all the arrangements in one place. Everyone is so helpful, and the quality is the best. We chose Rita for all our 3 daughters. Each wedding was custom fit to each of the girls. We could not have been more pleased.

Helen

The photography lady was good, but the guy who did the video for my husband’s surprise birthday party was OUTSTANDING. He interacted with the guests and knew how to get them to “talk” to the video camera. Both arrived on time which was very important for me so that they could both capture my husband being surprised. I have no complaints with the service that I received from Lamar Studios. The staff was always friendly and helped me when I called; Lisa was great.. The service was very good and I …

Our videographer was Joe. He was also fantastic and I’m sure our video will be excellent! Our limo driver was Walter and he was impressive. He h…

CINTHIAH

My brother and aunt got married 2 weeks apart. My Aunt had to pay top dollar at an “upscale” photography studio in Ridgewood. My brother who had a smaller budget. I, being the best man, helped out my brother so I was happy he went with LAMAR for about 1/4 of the cost; I hoped I gave him the right advice at my first job as best man. Their staff was so friendly and ‘down to earth’; it difused many potentially stressful situations and gave us a feeling of confidence about the professional services …
